Conquer Italy and destroy ERE as revenge!
Uralic cultures are significantly more likely to turn to the occupiers culture. This is coded into the event. Russians get an even bigger bonus against them, although I rarely ever see Russia spread far eastward, if it even forms in the first place. Also, Turks in Anatolia are more incline to turn to Greeks if Byzantium occupies the peninsula, and vice-versa for Greeks turning Turkish.
Not exactly right: East Slavic, West Slavic and Baltic cultures get a 90% lower MttH for the "Cultural Assimilation" event in Khazak, Siberian, Kirgiz and Tartar provinces.
Other cultures like in the ever famous Austrian Siberia don't get any bonus, making those lands less valuable for them, cause only the empty provinces (colonies) will have the Austrian culture.

I present you the HREarth:
Started as Bohemia in 1399 and decided after inheriting Poland and Hungary, well, why not do a WC with this? This was my first try and also my first time uniting the HRE. I know I could have been faster (it's 1737), but I made some bad decisions (e.g. attacked Japan too late) and had some bad luck (regency councils -.-).
The new world is completely Czech (except one Cherokee province which was already catholic for some reason...), the steppes are largely Czech cultured and the Czech culture did become quite large in Middle Europe, especially Bavaria, Poland and Hungary are largely Czech cultured. Every province of Middle Europe has a manufactory, too, I just had way too much money (had my army and navy close to the force limit most of the time, more than 1,5 million soldiers).
I won't ever go Aristocratic and Serfdom again. I had 3 times the Time of Troubles event which is just plain annoying. Being Narrowminded, Serfdom and having CAD however allowed me to still regain stability in one month, which is pretty good in a world spanning empire...
There are 1 Protestant and 3 Shinto provinces left, all of which have 25% chance to convert to catholic, so a World Conversion is not that far away.

If you have 16 infamy and it's in red, you're probably not playing on easy mode, so I tip my hat to your Holy Czech Earth.
Well, thanks, but actually I'm playing on normal difficulty... I just recently switched to Republican Dictatorship and due to a bunch of -infamy limit modifiers and no legitimacy for republics my infamy limit is 18.
Grootnederland:
Dat Brandenburg, Algiers, Iraq, Norway, Bulgaria, Portugal, Epiros, Navarre, Ireland, Finland, Fez (In Libya? :blink
, Aqualia... Is that a mod, and if it is, what is it?
Yet another game that I won't be able to get to 1821 because it bores me to hell, sadly. I really wanted to finish this one.
Could show a screenshot of the America's too I suppose; Hansa, Portugal, Castille, England, Savoy and Denmark moved their capital there because I chased them out of Europe.

My first (to the best of my recollection) successfull Byzantium game which I started in 1399. Actually there is still risk to be annihilated by AI, but decreasing.

Forming Germany with Prussia seemed to take to long for me so I went to do it with another nation that is not even German from start:
Hint: look up the cores.
And yes that is GB formed by Cornwall and France calling itself S-P - France failed twice, first as France against me then as protestant Burgundy reforming into France and getting dismantled by rebellions. Milan came close to unite the rest of Italy but became Muslim fifty years before game end so they fell apart too - apart from Candar they could have called themselves the Byzantine Empire.
Sadly the game ended before I managed to transform the last two mission Polish provinces into German ones to eliminate the stupid German-Polish tensions forever
And my proudest achievment in this game:
Now I continued it in Vic2 and did form Germany by sphering the surviving Prussia which owned most of Scandinavia and the Russian Balitic coast leading to possible rebels where non were to be found before. But the most important question is if Italy will ever form because three of the eight great powers are Italian states.

Do you WC people have some secret pixie dust for reducing infamy? Should I be using the release vassal/reconquest trick? With having to let time go between conquests, 1650 passes all too quickly.

PU everything, it's infamy-free. Unite the HRE. Use as much of Holy War till 1650 as you can, don't war in Europe before except for PU's/missions/cores, you want to get the most out of Holy war. After 1650 switch to Absolute Monarchy (or Republican Dictatorship if you already inherited Europe) and use Imperialism. Always have an embassy and a 5 or 6 star diplomat active. Stay catholic and always have 200 relationship with the pope and be fully narrowminded + some NIs who give papal influence (Divine Supremacy, Church Attendance Duty, maybe Unam Sanctum if you really want European provinces), to get as much cardinals as possible. Rush to Gov Tech 30 when it gets reachable for the Cabinet NI. Kill or PU everybody who colonizes the new world, Africa or the hordes.
And, ofc, start with a nation who can do it. England/Burgundy/Castille/France/Bohemia are probably the strongest ones.
The release/reconquest trick was removed in the 5.2 beta (which I was playing), but it's essentially cheating so you shouldn't do it even if you play an earlier version.
Essentially the biggest part is PU + Holy War + HRE.

Yes, I was hoping there was something else I was missing. :happy: There doesn't seem to be... And yet I can't cool down fast enough to even reach the Pacific, forgetting about the rest of it. Hmm. Well, I shall look to your impressive example for inspiration.
Well, never let your infamy touch zero. If you start holy-warring morocco or ottomans in 1450 (which would already be quite late) and restrict yourself to nearly no infamy spent in Europe, you should be able to reach the Pacific in 16xx. That however doesn't mean you'll have every heathen province till then, I for example still had plenty of stuff in SE Asia and Western Africa to clear up...
And I have to admit I got quite lucky with my kings. I had several 6-9 dip rulers in a row

You can do an under the BB WC without PUs, HRE, or vassal releasing...just look at Prawnstar's AARs.
